CSKA head coach Vladimir Fedotov spoke about how the match went with Khimki (2-1) in the 11th round of the RPL WORLD, noting the unsuccessful end shown by his team.
– In the first minutes, when the opponents fired, we were losing rebounds. There were a few nasty moments where players failed to secure. Rudenko had an unpleasant run. Rocha played well in two bouts, defusing the situation with a tackle. The rest of the time we controlled the course of the match, created. But again, our sickness of the last 10 minutes – there was a tense ending when Mirzov appeared on the pitch. A dangerous move in a sliding tackle covered Zhora Shchennikov. But even then, when Reziuan began to show activity, tension was created.
That goal we scored was the result of inattention and loss of concentration. We had good conditions to score the third goal, but we didn’t and started to come up against the opponent’s fast attacks. “Khimki” went forward with great strength, and they just needed to be punished. We didn’t get the transfer, although we talked about it, that we can open up the defense with passes and run to a date with the goalkeeper. These prerequisites were sufficient. In the end, we complicated the task too much: we gave back when we had to hit, and when we needed to give back, we hit. In such moments you need to calm down and calmly implement everything, ”the CSKA press service quoted Fedotov as saying.
CSKA climbed to 2nd place in the RPL table with 23 points. Khimki is in 13th place and 8 points.
